Hi. My all side buttons the phone doesnt work any more, it was not a big problem until my battery run out...
Is there is any way to boot it up without using power button? for example with PC or something but of course without losing data??? Please help I need to boot my phone, at least once..
any one people? someone in here definitely should know something about it. xda-dev always do
Any way to do it through ABD?
Try plug it in usb and check if it connects to adb. If yes then type adb reboot. It will be booted to home screen. Else u can try by pressing the volume up and plugin the usb cable it will connect to fastboot then type fastboot boot system.
thanks for trying but it doesn't work...

@Sw1pe, if your phone is turned of, connect it to your computer while holding the volume up button. Blue led will glow on your device, your phone is connected in fastboot mode. Now open a command window and type "fastboot reboot" without the quotes and voila. Your computer must have adb and fastboot installed for this purpose. Similarly there is also a command for shutdown command but not for fastboot, but for adb. Hopefully this helps.....

Thanks mate thats a good method, I knew it but the problem is like I did mention in the first post, that all my off my side buttons doesn't work, including volume amd camera button... So im more unlucky than you though. But there is even bigger problem, I don't care that much about the phone, I could just send to incurance. But the problem is as I found out recently, I have very important files for me in phones memory... Thats where this situation makes me extremely unlucky... As those files supposed to be in my SD and I always thought they are until this happened... is there is any way to get those files out?? I got developer mode / usb debugging enabled on my phone. If I send it to incurance I will lose those files... :crying::crying:
@Sw1pe did you get your phone on in the end? I have the same problem

Searched many places for my problem but cannot find it specifically and this forum seems to be more clued up than most so here goes.
One x screen started to occasionally freeze on unlock screen (volume buttons worked also the volume pop up came on so screen itself not frozen just couldnt touch input i presume) but would fix with either a full power down or a few presses of the top button. Over the course of a day or two this has progressed to virtually always freezing and finally to where i couldnt unfreeze it even after powering down.
Did a factory reset which did give me access to my phone again but still the problem persists.
From my research it could possibly be some sort of cache problem. Also noticed after factory reset with no apps or data installed, apart from the preinstalled ones, am using 4.7 gb of internal memory with only htc sense running. this seems excessive to me but never checked it before so not sure if this is about right. If not then the cache theory could be right.
So can anyone help me please.

Try following this:

No need to root / unlock bootloader
EDIT: follow option 2
following option 2 but stuck.
Make sure that USB debugging is enabled (Settings/Developer options). In order to determine which ruu file you require, boot your device into bootloader mode (Power off and then restart device by holding Power and Volume Down button together). Connect to pc via USB and check that device shows FASTBOOT USB on screen. Enter the following command in command prompt:
fastboot getvar version-main
But when i enter that in Command prompt i get fastboot is not recognised command etc using windows 8. Any help

Can you try running fastboot on a different OS? Windows XP/7, Ubuntu? Something else?
EDIT: BTW, are you sure you are running the fastboot command from the fastboot folder?

Navigate on your PC to the fastboot folder lets say "c:\fastboot".
Shift+right click on any blank place and choose open command window here(or something like that my OS is not in english now).
Try using fastboot commands .

Ran and installed the ruu but got an

Please get the correct ROM update utility and try again
But i have the correct version already 3.14.401.31 it just wont install and now my phone is stuck on a black screen with htc in centre and nothing else.
Did you run the ruu.exe as a administrator ?
Right click the ruu exe and select that.....and put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode

Hold the power button and the volume - button together until it reboots and boots into the bootloader, hook the usb cable and you should see "fastboot usb" in red text. At that point you run the ruu with administrator rights

Try shutting of the phone, powering on when holding power button+volume down for about 8s.
You will get a hboot, choose fastboot connect usb cable and try ruu with admin permissions
finally did get to hboot screen by letting the phone shutdown itself but couldnt ruu as battery power to low so i powered down and recharged battery but back to square one where i cannot get to boot screen just constant black htc screen and cant power down again.
So ill let my battery run down again to power off completely open boot screen then stay on that til i power up enough to try ruu again.
Il let you know what happens when this is done later.
Hey
im trying to unlock my bootloader again (had to lock it because i did a OTA on unlocked stock firmware)
im currently on stock ics, if that has anything to say. but the problem is when trying to install the fastboot drivers in windows device management
as far as i have read, when going into fastboot, is powering of the device, press and hold the menu button and connect the usb cable to the phone then u will get a blue light, find the drivers and install
but my menu button does not work anymore, idk why but it wont work when running android either. i have also tried getting in fastboot mode by holding the back button, then i get a green light as usual.
is there any way to enter fastboot without holding the menu button, or do i need to order a new keypad board for my phone
Thanks, Joakim
EDIT!!!!: i dont know what i have been thinking about, as you could enter fastboot, by typing adb reboot bootloader in adb, sorry
good you found out... there's also an option in flashtool inside fastboot window called "reset to fastboot through ADB"... also works... obviously your phone but be turned on and connected to PC through ADB.
Hi, :cyclops:
I received a second-hand HTC Desire from a family member as my Samsung Galaxy S3 got stolen. The phone won't turn on, I don't know if it had previous problems but if someone could give me a list of things to try, and explain how to perform these things, that'd be great.
Here's some details about the problems and what I've tried:
I have plugged in the phone to a wall charger without a SD card or simcard in the phone. The LED light turns solid orange and stays on, the buttons on the phone light up and remain that way. The screen stays black and the phone makes no sound.
Sometimes if I hold down the power button, it vibrates once and nothing happens.
If I plug it into the pc, the pc registers the phone but nothing else happens.
I have tried battery pulls.
I have also held down the volume down button and power button together, I just get a continuous vibration for about 10 seconds and then nothing
I have tried holding down the power button for an extended period of time, but nothing.
Anything else I could try? Or maybe perform the tasks I have tried differently...
Any help would be appreciated I'm not fond of the alternative phone I would have to use.
Thank you
try pull the battery out for 10 seconds n put back in then press n hold back button then press n hold power button (both same time) see what happens, hopefully it will boot into fastboot. ur vol down button could be dodgy thats why wont boot into bootloader. The led comes on when plugged in and vibrates so thats a good sign. Why it only shows black screen? i dunno. Maybe u just need to flash a ruu. try the back button combo first

Looks to me, like the phone is booting, but the screen isnt displaying anything. Pull the battery, then follow what jmcclue said to get into fastboot. Then setup adb, install this driver, plug the phone into your computer, and run "fastboot devices". See if your phone shows up.
Ok, So I'm downloading and installing these things on my pc and plugging the phone into the pc and doing it from there? Because nothing happens on the phone when I try the fastboot thing.. I'm not sure what these programs are or what they do.

Yes. Adb/fastboot are executables which allow your pc to communicate with your device. You need to do this:
-setup adb
-install the driver that i linked
-follow the steps in jmcclue's post above to get your phone into fastboot mode
-plug the phone into the pc
-on the pc open up a command prompt window, and enter "fastboot devices"
-post a screenshot of the output of the command

The SDK Manager and the driver are both installed, however is there something else I could type in the command window? It says that "fastboot" is not a recognized command.

Aha, my prediction was correct. So the phone is actually booted into fastboot mode, but the screen is not on.
Lets get some more info out of this phone. Run this command and post the outptut "fastboot getvar all"

Yea let a charge for at least an hour. Then run the RUU. I cant guarantee that itll work, but if this doesnt work, I would think that there is some sort of disconnection with a screen cable. In that case, i would suggest dissembling the phone and making sure that all screen cables are connected properly. But hopefully the RUU will do the trick

Make sure HTC sync isnt running in the background when you run the ruu (open task manager and kill any htc stuff before starting the ruu).
Check once more to see if "fastboot devices" recognizes the phone. If it does try the ruu. The ruu will tell you if it cant detect the phone. If that is the case, i have other solutions

Hmm, could be because its in fastboot mode. Try this:
-pull the battery then reinsert
-turn the phone on normally (hold power for a second, then release). Wait a few minutes for the phone to boot, then plug it in and try the ruu again.
My HTC One M8 (Verizon) is seemingly bricked. My phone is rooted, S-Off, with the stock ROM. I have been trying to update to the latest OTA update by returning to stock. I had previously modified some entries in the Build.prop and Platform.xml. I knew those had to be default in order for the OTA to work. I had copied the original files and pasted them to my SD Card so that I could simply cut the modified versions, paste them to my SD Card, and cut the originals from my SD Card and put them in their corresponding system folders.
Upon a reboot something apparently went horribly wrong because all my phone does now is boot with the white screen and green HTC Logo, then the screen goes black. I have tried the typical Power Button + Volume Down but it won't enter the boot loader. The good news is that the USB port seems to still work for my windows computer recognizes a device connecting to it but it doesn't show up as an interactive device in windows explorer..if that makes sense.
Please Help!

When you connect it to the PC can you pick up the device with adb? If so, have you tried to run the command from adb to boot it into bootloader? adb devices ... if found, adb reboot bootloader

I'm not too familiar with ADB commands but I typed in "adb reboot recovery" and it said: "error: device not found" so even if my command was wrong it's still not detecting it. I also tried: "fastboot reboot bootloader" and it just says "waiting for device"
Also I feel like it's worth mentioning the phone is automatically rebooting every two minutes or so (haven't timed it exactly but it's a while). Still showing the green HTC Logo then the screen goes dim, then the screen turns off.

Try holding volume UP + Power button, this simulates a "battery pull", just hold it in for a while it can take a while to "pull", when it's off try again booting into bootloader, volume DOWN + Power button.

I held Volume Up + Power Button and it showed the white screen with the green HTC logo. I then released all buttons. Once the screen turned off I then held Volume Down + Power Button for two minutes straight and nothing happened.
Even though we haven't found a solution yet, I am appreciative of the help.
sounds like you never installed the htc drivers for your phone, hence your pc doesn't see the phone when you are doing ADB commands.
install the drivers for it, then try the ADB commands via your pc
and dont mess with the build prop or other system files unless you have a working back up and are 101% certain about what you are doing..
Just remember to change directory in command prompt to the folder where adb.exe is located.
I don't know why the device doesn't reboot into bootloader though when you hold volume down + power button, shouldn't have to hold it for 2minutes. Holding volume up + power button to simulate a "pull" should only take up to 20 seconds or so at most and pressing volume down + power will then immediately take you into bootloader mode, or at least it's supposed to.
Did you release the volume up / power combo when the screen went dead or before? Try holding it until the phone shuts off and then right away press volume down + power.
Sorry if I'm not answering right away though, busy eating, and will be here and away for the next hour or so while I get ready for work =o( once I leave for work I'll only be able to help some more after like 2 hours or so. Hopefully we can do something before then though =o)

So you'll be able to fix it from here on then? I was just about to link this thread to you as well should you have gotten adb to work again, it's for the RUU for Verizon seeing as you said you're on Verizon.
But going by your response up there you might already know how to fix this issue further :good:

Share another method of getting into recovery mode on non-responsive blank screen
Hi,
I just want to share how I accessed recovery mode with the same build.prop issue but with S-ON (might work with S-Off too).
I found the solution from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...ter-download-mode-t2853100/page2#post62490577
To get into recovery mode on a non-responsive blank screen, hold the power button and volume up button at the same time and then approximately after 10 seconds, switch from pressing the volume up to volume down button before the HTC logo white screen shows while still holding down the power button. After, a white boot screen will give an option to go into recovery mode.
So, I flashed Derpfest A12 ROM, It boots fine but gets stuck on "getting your Android 12 Ready" screen with the animation. I can access wifi and visiblity options but not settings. I flashed TWRP from the official website to install the recovery. But now when I reboot and press Volume Down, TWRP is stuck on boot animation. So I thought just reset using fastboot and start again and pressed volume up and power button but it does NOT work. I tried the volume buttons again in the rom [i can change volume in the starting screen] and they are working. I can press volume down and power button to reboot into recovery and it works fine but gets stuck. So, I just want to have access to adb or fastboot to reset this phone but neither seems possible. I Cant enable advanced reboot in the starting screen. Fastboot doesnt work. ADB not recognizing as it is a new rom and havent enabled it [i enabled in the previous rom]. Thanks for you Help in Advance!
P.S. I have tinkered POCO F1 fairly so I am not totally new to this scene!
EDIT: Thanks for all the replies! But I solved the problem, Idk how but i got access to fastboot mode after some tries and reflashed everything and now it works, also I use linux and the adb drivers and fastboot were in repos so it was easy.
hello,
I am a novice and use a translation tool to write to you (sorry if there are errors...).
Ok I already installed roms (but a long time ago on a OnePlus One...
I have an OP5T, I want to install lineage Os 19.1 on it.
I followed the tutorial on the lineage wiki.
I installed ADB and fastboot well, as well as universal adb driver.
I'm on windows 11, it works.
I enabled debug mode
The adb reboot bootloader command works, so the tel is well seen by the pc and the tel restarts in fastboot mode.
Then nothing, no command (oem unlock) works, the computer does not seem to see such after restarting in fastboot mode.
I read some topic on the net that say that the phone must be in "battery charging" mode and not "file transfer". Me to be visible by adb I have to put it in file transfer mode, otherwise it is not seen.
If I put in recharge mode, same thing to do.
Do you have a tip or should I give up?

You need to install not just the adb drivers, but the fastboot ones as well, see this guide for example. This driver is the one needed for fastboot.
My devices have always been in file transfer mode btw, I've never heard of it needing to be in charging mode only.
No, you don't have to be in "charging only" vs "data transfer".
Still, those of us who distain to be plebian keep our devices in "charging only" (with ADB on) as MTP is beneath our contempt.
(Actually, the problem is that the USB VID/PID sometimes changes with each mode and that you may not have a driver loaded for ADB only.)
